The i ' rectors are satisfied that the scope for the business of fire i llaurauue presented by this country and its dependencies, . 8 , , , as a commercial speculation, deserving of paramount anen t ; and, the contract being one terminable annually, :Le profits or loss arising determine in like manner, year by "Y e ar, and exhibit at once a eompany's financial position and its resources. While the partial remission of the fire insurance duty I mvir in the contemplation of Government, and applica ble Only to the insurance of stock-in-trade, will afford a corn taratively limited relief from the onerous oppt for r esales, th everye liireeters have resolve d to allow upon paymen Policy, and afterwards at each renewal, an immediate draw hack, which, in many instances, will amount to a total ex. Unction of the entire duty of three shillings per oent. To the public at large, and to the greater proportion of the manufacturing and 'mercantile community, this arrange ment will prove a highly acceptable advantage. The draw back allowed by a few of the older o ffi ces by way of per centage on premiums, at intervals of years, is of iM- Porlalle.a only to those who are rated at premiums ranging cciQtly ranc o ne geas u i n ea per cent , upwards, an d is partici hhated f in only by t h o se who may have p remiums to be re kewed at the period of the ma kin g of these returns ; wher l the principle adopted by this Company, the owners of 141 4 , e elasaea of risk of the mere ordinary occurrence, are the who will be the more substautially and at the same time promptly benefited. thus Th e concession to be made to the public will ca., tair i ;v be the means not only o f increaeing in their respec tl've i wounts i ns urances n ow existing, but of multiplying g to a very large ext ent the number of insurance contracts in 'his counta) , .and its colonial connections. The insul•tahte vroperty in this kingdom alone, including ' 4l enormous and increasing importations arising from the 'vise interchange o f tariis is believed to approximate to '4 O , '00 , 1,060,000, whereas it ,300,000,000 only is insured ; thus leaving nearly three46lirths of the insurable amount together unprotected from loss. t It would be difficult to fire] any class of investments which .. 18 yielded such large profits as the shares of well- con l'acted Kra offices. Tho shares of the older offices have in freed in value immensely, being, in one case, at a pre ;iatti of about 1,300, and in another of nearly 2,000 per 'cent. t. on the sums originally paid up. The increased value t e shares of o ffi ces established within the last 20 years ~, nas at from 80 to 200 per cent. tx ,'"ig under these circumstances, and considering the lin" 4 118 0 field presented for operations to come, that the dire -o_l_lave taken advantae.e of so favourable an of ~.. tier to th e public the benefits of the principle of business j;`,),7 adopted by them ; and they have every reason to 7, 1 . eve that by its special feature and the public support ;latch that must necessarily invite the undertaking will vt ) ,YaLy be productive of the best monetary results. ~...1: he .executive will be entrusted to o ffi cers of tried experi- Z'e in the Ansiness of fire insurance, and the directors have ~,..1 4 1 1 1 y matured arrangements for the immediate establish "ue t kd five hundred agencies.

This company has been formed with the view of develop ing the agricultural, manufacturing, commercial, and mineral resources of Ireland, and providing for that country those pecuniary facilities which have so much contributed to the advancement _and prosperity of tl.o other portions of the United Kingdom. It is propos-d that this company should act— lstly. Ass Finance Company, for negotiating and making advances upon approved real and personal securities, and if necessary the using and dealing in the same. The taking contracts for railways or other works ; the receiving moneys on deposit, and generally transacting financial business as principal or agent. 2dly, As a Land Credit Company, for buying, selling, making advances on, and dealing in real property of all descriptions and tenures, and of all estates and interests therein, including the erection of buildings thereon, and improving, or repairing the same. 3dly. As a Land Improvement Company, for reclaiming, draining , and improving lands, and making and construct• ing roads, and executing all works; and, either as principal or agent, making estimates and entering into contracts for the same. 4thly. As agent, by affording facilities for the association of capitalists desirous of taking a limited interest in remu nerative undertakings of a local character, either privately or by introducing them to the public. The wet and waste lands of Ireland amount to more than 6,000,009 acres, affording a fruitful field for the emp!oyment of capital by reclamation and drainage. Capital can also be profitably employed in making advances on land and other property with the Landed Estates Court or other good titles. The want of this association has been long experienced by those most competent to form a sound judgment on such hass ; and it is generally admitted that the proper time arrived when such an undertaking can be successfully carried out. The articles of association may be seen at the solicitors of the company. In the event of no allotment being made the deposits will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposits will be made available towards the payment on allotment, and the balance, if any , returned to the applicant. P ros p ec tuses and forms of applications for shares in the the f or m annexed to the prospectu s, may be obtained at bankers, brokers, solicitors, and of Messrs. G. H. and A. T. Jay, 1 5 , Tokenhouse-yard, London. PROSPECTUS. This Company has been formed to meet the wants of the large and, ncreasing trade between Liverpool and the St. Lawrence the (existing means of steam communication being altogether inadequate, Montreal is second on l y to New York as a port of export on the Atlantic seaboard of North America. The trade returns exhibit an increase in the business of the port of 100 per cent. in eight years, during which period there has bean no increase whatever in steamship tonnage between Liverpool and Montreal. Li ve rpool receives a mu ch larger proportion of the ex ports from the St. Lawrence than all the other ports of the an d while Un it e d Kingdom. and it is fr om Liverpool that b oat fif t hs of the import s into Canada are shipped, there areo lines of screw steamers now running between Glasgow an twd the St. Lawrence (a much inferior route both as regards passengers and freights), there is only one line running between Liverpool and the St. Lawrence. It is well known that the profits of steamships between Liverpool and Montreal are very large, and there can be no doubt, hem the great increase of the traie, that by careful and economical management, the earnings of this Company will yield a profitable return to the shareholders. The Com pany has received promises of support from most of the lead ing firms in C a n a a; 3,000 shares are reserved for allotment in the colony. 'the River St. Lawrence is the natural outletwes of ternthe t r ade, not only of Canada, but of all the great States adjoining the lakes of North America. The grain producing power of these States is so enormous that Chi cago, which in 1854 shipped 12,863,912 es buvasshet quanti ls, in 18 ies 62 s hipped 55,477, 104 bus hels of grain, besidt of provisions. The total quantity of grain from these western States, which now seeks a market by way of the lakes, is 15,000,000 quarters, and the annual increase is at the rate of 10 per cent. The north• west has arrived at a point of production be yond any possible capacity for transportation except by the great natural outlet. It annually crowds canals and rail ways with over 100,000,000 bushels of grain, besides im . . mense quantities of provisions, and this increasing business cannot be maintained without recourse to that natural out let of the lakes, the River St. Lawrence. By reason of the perishable nature of wheat and flour, and the loss sustained by heating on the long voyages of sailing ships, steamers always command a high rate of freight in this trade, In consequence of the magnitude of the business, no un due competition need be entered into with the Allan sine, and the first.class p assen g er traffic, which its specially adapted to carry, will not be interfered with by this Company. It is proposed to build a fleet of screw sts, of about 2,000 tons, of large carr y in g capacity, and om en at but sufficient power. Such vessels can be built at a relatively much smaller cost than where high speed is re nal a d ; they can be sailed more economically, and o ff er equal ad vantages to shippers of merchandise and to steerage and intertnediafe passengers, who, from their greater number and less expensive mode of transport, are much more pro fitable than first-class passengers, No provisional or other contracts have been entered into with shipbuilders or others, and the Di rec t o rs are free to buy in the best a nd cheapest markets. The Directors are not entering upon an untried business, for the necessities of a trade which calls but are providing forincrease of steamsh i p tonnage, and which has proved an largely remunerative to the existing Company. It is intended to commence a fortnightly service each way, to be increased to a weekly line, calling at Queens town, as soon as vessels can be got ready. During the season when the his wrence is closed the boats will run to Portland, whicow the great centre of the winter import and export trade of Canada, and where, by roans of the Grand Trunk Railway, a very large export of rovisions, ecc, frpm the western States is now car ried on. No promotion money will t h e aid, and the preliminary expenses will consist solely of actual necessary disburse merits and legal charges. pany. The annual increase in the wealth of the oountry and in that description of property known as" Insurable Property," has suggested the formation of several new Fire Insurance Offices, but the Directors of this Company believe that in very few instances has a Fire Company started with the same chances of success as attend the introduction of this. The Company will have the advantage of the co-operation of a trained and perfectly organised system of agents, and the Directors submit, therefore, th there there is a certainty of securing almost at once a large and profitable bus•f,ess. The Chancellor of the Exchequer having intimated his in tention to reduce the duty one-half on stwck in trade, a large additional numbtr of fire insurances will, no doubt, be effected by persons who have hitherto been deterred from insuring for the full value of their stock by reason of the heavy duty. The following* table shows the present value of the shares of those Fire Companies which are in alliance with Life Com panies Annual 0 .; Dividend paid. ch REDUCTION of the DUTY on FIRE INSURANCES on Merchandise, Stock in Trade, Machinery, Fixtures, Imple ments, and Utensils used for trade or manufacture. All Po►icies now effe ted or renewed will secure the full benefit of the reduction from the 25th Juno next. April 52,1864.

U u s r u ot a e l e S ai lg o n n a o t r ur b e is ...... . Name in full Residence ... , Date May, 1814, The Company has been formed for purchasing and ex tending the well-known iron ship-building establishment of Mesas. Martin Samuelson and Co., of Hull. The capabilities of then works are unsurpassed by any in the kingdom—they occupy 11 acres of ground, with water frontage to the river Humber and river Hull, having a depth of water of 30 feet. The present iron ship-building power of the establishment is equal to the construction of 20,000 tons per annum, at which rate the works are now being carried on. Messrs. saaiuelson and Company have orders on hand for ships ex ceeding 20,00.) tons ; other large orders are offered, and it is proposed to take 11 acres of land adjoining the present yard, and which Messrs. Samuelson and Company i ave secured, so as to extend the works to meet the large daily increasing profitable demand for ships, and to erect rolling mills for the manufacture of the iron required for ship builuing, as well as for all kinds of railway and engineering works. In addition to the engineering works. foundry, and ship building yards, there is a patent slip for repairing ships of the largest class. This is a lii4hiy erofitable part of the bust ness. The demand for the use of this patent slip has been such that it has never been unemployed since Messrs. Samuel s n and Company constructed it at a considerable cost some years ago. The situation of this establishment gives it special advan tages over others of a like character. The pri e of ship-build. ing labour is lower at Hull than in any of the iron ship building ports of the kingdom; it is in the great iron district of Yorkshire; coal is cheap, railways run into the works, and connect them with all parts of England. Freights are very moderate from Hull, and the large timber trade of Hull offers advantages for the purchase of the timber, which is used in large quantities, on highly advantageous con ditions. Two thousand workmen are now employed at the works. The present orders in hand for ships, engines, and general engineering work amount to above £300,000, all at very remu nerative prices. Reports made by some of the most eminent engineers who have examined the works, and who are specially acquainted with this branch of manufacture, show that atter making large alowances-30 per oent. off the capabilities of the wort , s, the trade will, with the judicious management and employment of the capital, return a dividend of 20 per cent. and upwards to the snareholders, and if the works continue to be fully employe 1, a much larger amount. Tha to ms of urchase are highly advantageous ; the plant and machinery, buildings, freehold and leasehold premises, together with al the stock of materials, are to b. , taken at the valuation of two engineers, one named by the Company and the other by the vendors, with an umpire in the usual way. The goodwill of the business, including the profit on works in hand, is to be paid for at one year's pur chase of the net pi ofits, but on an average of three year.' working. In the event of no allotment being made, the deposits will be returned in fu 1. Should a less number of shares be al otted than is appiiedior, the deposit will be made available towards the paym nt on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, 21, Threadneedle-street, and 81, Lombard-street, and of the Brokers and Solicitors.

HERNE'S OAK.—So late as last summer Herne's Oak, understood to be the tree referred to by Shak spere in the " Merry Wives of Windsor," was still one of the chief objects of interest in Windsor Park. It had ceased to put out leaves for more than half a century, and its sapless trunk was hollowed out by gradual decay 'to a height of 10 or 12 feet from the ground. On a quiet evening in August last the crumbling support gave way, and the heavy upper branches fell with a crash to the ground. Her Majesty gave directions that all the solid timber they contained should be preserved, and of it various articles have since been made as relics of the venerable tree, famous even in the time of Queen Elizabeth for its age and size. Among the most interesting of the objects formed of the wood are two busts of Shakspere, recently carved by Mr. Perry, of 6, North Audley-street; one for the Queen and the other for the Prince of Wales. The artist has adopted the costume of the Stratford bust. He has, how ever, made use not only of that, but of the portraits in his representation of the poet's features and general appearance. He was supposed to be about 30 years of age when the por traits were taken, and to have been represented at the age of 52 in the Stratford monument. Mr. Perry has endea voured to represent what Shakspere might have been when from 40 to 45 years of age. He has copied the high fore head and arched eyebrows of the stone monument, and at the same time avoided the high shoulders, inanimate ex pression, and ridiculous smirk which disfigure it. These he has exchanged for the more graceful bearing, the thinner face, marked features, and more thoughtful expression of the portraits, and the result is a figure of the poet carved in oak which may fairly vie with works of sculpture in brass, or stone. THIS TRUE STORY OF THE ACTOR PALMER'S DEATH.—At length the night came (in July, 1798) when he was to repeat the character of the " Stranger," and then there was no simulation in this mournful aspect. He had got thieugh hispart to the middle of the openin g sc ene of the fourth act. H e h a d answere d , " I love her still, " to the query of B aron St e i n f or t (Whitfield) respecting his wife; and then to the question as to his children, h e gave the reply, "I left them at a small town hard by;" but the words, falteringly uttered, had scarcely passed his lips, when he fell, dead, at Whitfield' s f ee t I The sensation which this caused was most painful ; an d i t Was not allayed by thosepious persons who saw in hi s sudden death an especial judgment launched by H eaven on the head of a man who exercised an unrighteous calling. To support their theory they invented the story that Palmer was stricken after uttering the quotation, in the first scone of the third act,. "There is another and a better world !" These words suited. the inferences which they wished to draw. They did not: agree with the facts : but it was the old story, "so muck the worse for the facts I The lie yet lives.—" Their Me jesties' Servvnti," by Dr. .Doran.
